Compared with a number of known results in this paper the disturbance compensation problem is solved when the output variable is measured only, a relative degree of the plant is arbitrary and the control channel has delay. The numerical example is presented to illustrate theoretical result and the reaction wheel pendulum on a movable platform is considered as the plant to demonstrate that proposed approach is realizable and can be plugged in practice. Created by hand disturbance moves the platform in horizontal surface and the pendulum is oscillating. The second goal of this work is the development of mechatronic applications using in education.

В качестве актуаторов использованы биполярные двухфазные шаговые двигатели с планетарной передачей и винтовым редуктором. В отличие от известных аналогов в предлагаемой модели конструкции реализована возможность использования меньшего количества актуаторов, чем актуируемых точек Брайля. Это достигается за счет фиксирования положения каждой точки механическим элементом (защелкой). Даже при отключении электроэнергии отображенная информация не исчезает. Актуаторы требуют электропитания только в момент изменения состояния точки, что позволяет сократить расход электроэнергии. Представленная модель дисплея отличается от существующих тем, что позволяет отображать одновременно более одной строки (любое заданное количество строк). Обновление страницы текста происходит построчно. При этом каждая точка фиксируется механически, благодаря использованию многоканальной неполноприводной системы управления. Разработана 3D-модель устройства мультистрочного дисплея Брайля. Ключевые слова мультистрочный дисплей Брайля, шрифт Брайля, методы отображения шрифта Брайля, многоканальная система передачи связи Благодарности Работа выполнена при поддержке Фонда содействия инновациям в рамках программы «УМНИК-цифровая Россия».

In the paper, combined with the characteristics of an octopus’s tentacle, a cable-driven soft arm is designed and fabricated, which can motion flexibly in three-dimensional space. Based on the TensorFlow framework, a data-driven model is established, and the data-driven model is trained using deep reinforcement learning strategy to realize posture control of a single soft arm. Finally, two trained soft arms are assembled into an octopus-inspired biped walking robot, which can go forward and turn around. Experimental analysis shows that the robot can achieve an average speed of 7.78 cm/s, and the maximum instantaneous speed can reach 12.8 cm/s.

Using the characteristics of octopus tentacles rolling on the ground, a wrist arm was designed using the cable-driven method, and an underwater SLIP bipedal walking model was established, which makes an underwater soft robot more suitable for moving on uneven ground. An underwater bipedal walking soft robot based on coconut octopus was then designed, and a machine vision algorithm was used to extract the motion information for analysis. Experimental analysis shows that the underwater bipedal walking robot can achieve an average speed of 6.48 cm s−1, and the maximum instantaneous speed can reach 8.14 cm s−1.

Considering the validity of the manual setting probability decreases with time, a model of attenuation and growth is constructed to update the probability information of observation points. Because different direction may lead to different expected-time in the same loop, a direction choosing method is used to improve the performance of this planning method. Then, a double-level planning strategy is designed. At the top level, a heuristic sequence planning algorithm is employed to generate the sequence of observation points. At the lower level, the Artificial Potential Field (APF) is applied to plan the optimal path between every two observation points. Simulations demonstrated that this method can reduce the expected-time in repeated target search tasks by increasing a little computational cost.

It combines the feature extraction structure of MobileNet and the encoding path of pyramid scene parsing network. The depthwise separable convolution, the spatial pyramid pooling, and the feature fusion are employed to reduce the onboard computing time of pyramid scene parsing mobile network. A unique data set called Hangzhou Dianzi University Terrain Dataset is constructed for terrain segmentation, which contains more than 4000 images from 10 different scenes. The data set was collected from a robot’s perspective to make it more suitable for robotic applications. Experimental results show that the proposed method has high-accuracy...

In this paper, we combine the data-driven modeling method with the reinforcement learning control method to realize the position control task of robotic soft arm, the method of control strategy based on deep Q learning. In order to solve slow convergence and unstable effect in the process of simulation and migration when deep reinforcement learning is applied to the actual robot control task, a control strategy learning method is designed, which is based on the experimental data, to establish a simulation environment for control strategy training, and then applied to the real environment. Finally, it is proved by experiment that the method can effectively complete the control of the soft robot arm, which has better robustness than the traditional method.
